Application filed ctober 31, 1921. Serial No.l 511,604.`

To all 'Lo/om t may concern.'

Be it known that I, EDGAR A. BIENENSTOK,

a citizen of the United States, and resident of Milwaukee, in the countyof Milwaukee andv Stateiof lVisconsin, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Oil-Vapor Burners; and I dohereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention isan improvement in oil vapor burners. It contemplates suchan are rangement of a gas burner which is used to vaporize oil and anoil 'vapor burner as to conserve the heat energy involved and direct amaximum to the .fiat surface of the vapor generator. It contemplatesalso such an arrangement of parts as will result in a superioroperation.

It has also as its object simplicity of construction, strength andreadiness of assembly.

Other objects will appear as the description proceeds.'

Reference is had to drawings, in Which,

Figure 1 is a vertical centralv cross section of the device.

Figure 2, a plan thereof, and v Figure 3, a side elevation looking fromthe left of Figure 1.

A base member 10 carries headless screw 11, entering a lug 12 for thepurpose of mak; ing base 10 rigid with the supported parts. Integralwith lug 12, are supports 13 and 14 extending upwardly and beingcontinuous with a cross member 15. Support 13 is hollow.

Leading from supply tank 30v is a feed pipe 16 having therein, a needlevalve 31 for regulating the How. Having threaded connection with feedpipe 16 is arm 17 lof vapor generator 18. Arm 17 rests upon horizontalportion 19 of support 14. The other end 2O of vapor generator 18 isbolted to cross memlber 15.' At 21, a gasket maybe used to make '2,15the connection tight. i' An annular gas burner 22, having'nclined leads23 thereto, communicates with a gas and air mixer chamber 24 from whicha gas connection 25 extends. Gas burner -22 is made rigid with support14 by a brace 26.

In the operation of the device, Oil is admitted, in desired quantity, tothe vapor generator 18 by means of needle valve 31. It is there heatedto vaporization by the gas the accompanying burner 22. The vapor is thenconducted throughsuppo-rt 13 to vapor burner33 where gas supply beingturned off. j Heat from the vapor burner continuesthe it is ignited, the

process'of vaporization in the Vapor generator to which a vsupply ofvoil is regulatedy by needle valve 31, as explained supra.

It is apparent that the generator 18 insures ready the arrangement ofburner 22 is conduciveto conferring a maximum of heat energy thereto.`The location of vapor burner 33 tends also to conserve heat energy. Ascross ,meins ber 15 extends above vapor generator 18,it

does not, in any way, impede the operation, yet, at thesamntime, resultsin a maximum strength. i ily separated from or assembled withits'support.`

I claim:

1.v An oil vapor hurnercomprising a gen` Vapor generator18 may be`read"spread of vapory Vaporizatiomand erator,` a pair of supports extendingupwardly from a base and embracing said generator and continuing acrossthe top of `said generator.

2. An oil vapor burner comprising a 'gen-' erator, a pair 'of supports,one of which vis hollow, extending and embracing said generator andcontinuing across the top of said generator.

3. An oil vapor burner comprising a pair of supports, one of which ishollow, extending upwardly from a base, said supports beupwardly fromabase ing integrally joined together at their lowe'i` v i ends and rigidwith said base, and a burner"` rigid with said supports andv immediatelyadjacent their juncture lwith the base.

4. An oil vapor burner comprising a vapor burner, apair ofsupportsextending out-v wardly and upwardly therefrom, and a lug rigidwith said supports and havingscrew i connection with the base.` j i 5.An oil vapor burner comprising an annular gas burner embraced by a pairof supports, and a vapor generator carried by said supports above saidannular gas burner.

6. An oil vapor burner comprising a pair of supports, one of which ishollow, an annulargas burner embraced andfcarried by said pair ofsupports, and a vapor generator car-l ried by said supports above saidannular gas burner.

7. An oilvvapor burner comprising a flat circular vapor generator, apair of supports nular gas burner positioned below said vapor generator.

ln testimony that claim the foregoing` l0 have hereunto set n'iy hand atMilwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of lVis consin.
